Fun morning at the Watchtower - Halls Gap

Fun safe way to introduce family to top roped climbing. Comprehensive range of sizes of climbing & safety equipment. 3 hours was a bit short to get much done, would do a whole day next time.

Great abseiling and rock climbing experience

Great experience doing abseil and rock climbing as a first timer. Our guide was friendly, patient and encouraging and we felt safe throughout while having a fun and challenging time. Wonderful location to get a feel of what real rock climbing is about Having the gear supplied was also a plus - would recommend if heading to Halls Gap.
